Guard Function and Features

"I]_eguard is a very important safety feature, designed to reduce the risk of injury associ- ated with blade contact. Install the guard correctly. Follow the specific instructions in the ripping and crosscutting sections to set and use the guard correctly for each type of cut.

Guard Features Include: Handle/Squeeze Trigger 1. A non-moveable metal upper portion, (Upper Guard) which is fastened to the motor by the guard screw, and which fully covers the upper half of the blade.

2. A moveable clear plastic portion, (Plastic Lower Guard) which partially cov- ers the lower half of the blade. It protects against contact with the side of the blade during crosscutting when blade is in its rear- most position and the guard is resting on the table, so the leading and trailing teeth of the blade are not exposed. It also protects against contact with the outfeed side of the blade during ripping, and acts as a barrier to prevent wrong way Iced.
